    The west does the same. They don’t call it one child policy but rent.

    In your opinion, what would have been the alternative? A bigger population would have made it much more difficult for China to achieve food security.

    • So by categorically denying my right to existence even though my mom wanted me, its somehow essential to China’s development?

      Last I checked, most western countries doesn’t go around snatching women off the streets and performing abortions against their will.

            Government shouldn’t be able to intervene

            That’s a strategy but it will inevitably lead to war because the most populous countries will conquer their neighbors to feed their population. So all countries have to promote having children which accelerates the arrival of the conflict.
